This bill, if passed, would "amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to enhance multi-directional sharing of information related to cybersecurity risks and strengthen privacy and civil liberties protections, and for other purposes." The bill expands DHS' National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) to include tribal governments, Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs), and private entities as non-federal partners in the center.
